Μετα-ανάλυση 178 επιστημονικών μελετών: Κανένα χειροπιαστό όφελος από την γενικευμένη χρήση μάσκας

ΜΙΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΑΡΧΙΣΑΝ ΤΑ ΣΧΟΛΕΙΑ, ΑΝΑΒΙΩΝΕΙ ΤΟ ΓΝΩΣΤΟ ΘΕΜΑ ΤΩΝ ΜΑΣΚΩΝ ΣΕ ΠΑΙΔΙΑ

ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗ

– Τον Απρίλιο του 2020 ο Παγκόσμιος Οργανισμός Υγείας (Π.Ο.Υ) συνιστούσε την χρήση μάσκας ΜΟΝΟ από ασθενείς και από το υγειονομικό προσωπικό, ενώ ΔΕΝ συνιστούσε την τακτική χρήση μάσκας από τον γενικό πληθυσμό.

– Τον Ιούνιο του 2020 άλλαξε τις συστάσεις του και τώρα πια συνιστούσε την χρήση μάσκας και από υγιείς, σε πολυσύχναστους χώρους.

Όμως, σε μία μετα-ανάλυση επί 178 επιστημονικών μελετών, που ανέθεσε ο ίδιος ο Π.Ο.Υ και που δημοσιεύτηκε στο LANCET, δεν προέκυψε κανένα χειροπιαστό όφελος από την γενικευμένη χρήση μάσκας!

(Μόνο η κοινωνική απόσταση του 1 μέτρου έδειξε κάποια μέτρια αξία στην αποφυγή μετάδοσης.)

Έτσι ο Π.Ο.Υ δεν προχώρησε στην σύσταση της μάσκας για γενικευμένη χρήση.

Η ΠΑΡΟΥΣΑ ΚΑΤΑΣΤΑΣΗ

Από τα μέσα του 2020 είδαν το φως ένα σωρό επιστημονικές εργασίες και μετα-αναλύσεις, που αφορούσαν την καθημερινή χρήση μάσκας, που όλες σχεδόν ανέδειξαν ένα σωρό προβλήματα υγείας που δημιουργεί αυτό.

Θα ασχοληθώ σήμερα με

τα αποτελέσματα 44 επιστημονικών μελετών, σχετικών με την χρήση μάσκας, όχι ειδικά στα παιδιά, αλλά σε κάθε άνθρωπο. Από αυτές, οι 22 δημοσιεύτηκαν μετά την κήρυξη της “πανδημίας“, ενώ και οι άλλες 22 πριν από την κήρυξη της “πανδημίας”.

Όλες μιλούν για σημαντικές παρενέργειες που προκύπτουν από την καθημερινή χρήση μάσκας και τις τεκμηριώνουν με συγκεκριμένες μετρήσεις.

ΒΑΣΙΚΕΣ ΣΥΝΕΠΕΙΕΣ ΕΠΙ ΤΩΝ ΑΕΡΙΩΝ, ΚΑΤΩ ΑΠΟ ΤΗΝ ΜΑΣΚΑ

1) Η συγκέντρωση οξυγόνου κάτω από την μάσκα παρουσιάζει σημαντική μείωση κατά 12,4%, σε σχέση με τον αέρα στο δωμάτιο (18,3% αντί για 20,9%).

2) Η συγκέντρωση του διοξειδίου του Άνθρακα (CO2) κάτω από την μάσκα αυξάνει σε τρομακτικά επίπεδα, περίπου 30 φορές πάνω από την συγκέντρωση στο δωμάτιο (14.142 ppm, αντί για 464 ppm στο δωμάτιο)!

Από αυτές τις δύο διαταραχές των αερίων προκύπτουν ένα σωρό προβλήματα. 

ΒΑΣΙΚΕΣ ΑΝΑΠΝΕΥΣΤΙΚΕΣ ΣΥΝΕΠΕΙΕΣ ΑΠΟ ΤΗΝ ΜΑΣΚΑ

1) Αύξηση της αναπνευστικής αντίστασης (μεταξύ εισπνοής-εκπνοής) της τάξεως του 128%

2) Αύξηση του όγκου νεκρού χώρου κατά 80%

Τα δύο αυτά μαζί οδηγούν σε μείωση της ανταλλαγής αερίων κατά 37% 

ΒΑΣΙΚΕΣ ΦΥΣΙΚΕΣ ΣΥΝΕΠΕΙΕΣ ΚΑΤΩ ΑΠΟ ΤΗΝ ΜΑΣΚΑ

– Αύξηση της υγρασίας
– Αύξηση της θερμοκρασίας

Τα δύο αυτά μαζί ευνοούν την ανάπτυξη λοιμώξεων από μικρόβια, ιούς και μύκητες, ως γνωστόν.

36 φυσικοί τρόποι αντιμετώπισης των λοιμώξεων

ΒΑΣΙΚΕΣ ΚΑΡΔΙΑΝΑΠΝΕΥΣΤΙΚΕΣ ΣΥΝΕΠΕΙΕΣ

– Αύξηση καρδιακών παλμών
– Άνοδος αρτηριακής πίεσης
– Εξάντληση με λίγη άσκηση

Το τελευταίο είναι ιδιαίτερα εμφανές σε αθλητές, αλλά και σε παιδιά στο μάθημα της γυμναστικής ή στο παιχνίδι κατά το διάλειμμα.

Ακόμη και χαλαρή ασκησούλα προκαλεί υποξία με παράλληλη υπερκαπνία.

Η μείωση του οξυγόνου είναι 3,7% και η αύξηση του CO2 είναι 20%.
